Years ago I found out the hard way, you want to keep your chain in good working order. An improperly maintained chain can damage the sprockets on your bike, or even break.
It's my understanding, that a bike chain should be lubed after 100 miles of riding, or if it gets wet. I found this good link on how to properly lube your chain.
The mechanics at the bike shop I use (Sunshine Bike Shop in Springfield), suggest I use T-9 lubricant, here's a link to that lube:
